For centuries women have given birth without any other pain management method than the natural ones. With the development of medicine, giving birth became a complete medical procedure in many societies, including ours.

 

Nowadays we can fortunately choose, but we need to reconect with the non-medical techniques and rediscover the potential that our own body has to work through the transformative pain of the contractions. In one session I teach you at your place the basics of some of them: acupressure, rebozo, aromatherapy or music therapy among others. With this tools you will increase your chances of having a physiological birth and a positively involved birth partner at your side.

​

The acupreassure technique is a method based in the Chinese Traditional Medicine. During this session you and your partner will learn how to find certain pression points  (for instance on hands, foots or back) that have an effect in your body during the delivery. No previous knowledge or extra material is needed, just the hands (of your partner) and active listening. It can be combined with any other pain management method during the process of delivery, including epidural, bath, TENS or nitrous oxide. 

 

Acupressure can, among others:​

​

• Shorten the dilation and/or birthing phases

• Improve the efficiency of your contractions

• Manage pain during contractions

• Improve breastfeeding

• Manage stress and nausea

• Increase the options to turn breech babies naturally (Moxa therapy)

• Prepare your body for an induction or caesarean. 

 

We can find another powerful tool during the delivery in the rebozo, which is a Mexican technique based in the utilization of a special wrap for massage, and very much used by Mexican midwives for centuries during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Thanks to this technique you can:

​

• Relieve pelvic tension

• Help the baby find a proper position

• Manage pain and stress during contractions

​

We will also talk about other techniques during our workhop,  including relaxation methods like aromatherapy, music therapy, warm water, breathing techniques or the use of the TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
